Scarlet Monastery

Scarlet Monastery

The Scarlet Monastery is located in Tirisfal Glades. Revamped in Mists of Pandaria to replace the Graveyard and Cathedral wings of the old Scarlet Monastery, the dungeon now includes a level 90 Heroic mode with three boss encounters. The monastery is one of the strongholds of the Scarlet Crusade, a group of maddened zealots so dedicated to the defeat of all undead that they frequently attack everyone - even the living.

Encounters

Brother Korloff – Brother Korloff first learned of the monk's deadly arts from pandaren ambassadors as they journeyed through Azeroth. When the crusader demonstrated this martial style to his superiors, they unanimously ordered Korloff to train an entire generation of initiates in the ways of the monk.

High Inquisitor Whitemane – At a young age, Sally Whitemane witnessed her family succumb to the horrific plague of undeath as they were traveling through northern Lordaeron. She was then forced to destroy her parents and siblings when they rose as mindless Scourge minions, leaving her racked by guilt and rage. Ever since that day, the fearsome priestess has found fulfillment and pleasure in only one thing: the destruction of undead.

Thalnos the Soulrender – Thalnos earned repute in the Scarlet Crusade for the brutal torture methods he used to "purify" new recruits. Ultimately, the sadistic mage contracted the plague of undeath and arose as a fearsome skeletal being. The vengeful Thalnos now prowls the monastery's graveyard, commanding apparitions and zombified creatures to attack anyone who trespasses on his unholy domain.

Scarlet Cathedral is a part of new Scarlet Monastery. Scarlet Catedral contains both merged and revamped Graveyard and Cathedral.

Comment by Nobbel

You used to have 4 sides: the Graveyard, Cathedral, Armory and Library. Now they've merged them together. Upon entering the left portal you will go to the graveyard/cathedral and when you enter the right portal you will go to the armory and library.

Comment by Sentro

This is the order in which you will engage the different bosses of the scarlet monastery/scarlet cathedral:

1. Thalnos the Soulrender (formerly Bloodmage Thalnos, second/last boss of the graveyard)2. Brother Korloff (new boss, stands in front of the chapel where Whitemane resides)3. High Inquisitor Whitemane & Commander Durand (Whitemane remained, Durand is new and replaces Renault Mograine as the last boss in the cathedral)

A little bit of backstory to the bosses:- The crusade finally noticed that some things went terribly wrong in the graveyard and started an assault on it. However, they didn't expect that Thalnos would be such a mess to deal with when the former bloodmage left his crypt to face the crusaders directly.- Korloff learned his arts as a monk by travelling Pandaren and impressed the crusaders so much that they allowed him to teach their members how to use this power. - High Inquisitor Whitemane - the beauty of the scarlet crusade - was killed with most of the former leaders in the monastery. But her knowledge and confidence in the holy light were so great that she could resurrect herself even when she was dead. She wasn't able to do this with the other leaders, so she has simply chosen Durand as the new commander of the monastery.

But what happened with the two other bosses, Interrogator Vishas and High Inquisitor Fairbanks?Well, what happened to Vishas is unknown since you skip the torturerooms of the crusade when you enter the dungeon. Most likely he got killed like the other leaders of the scarlet crusade, along with his few familiy members who lived at a little house at Lordamere Lake until the cataclysm happened.. Somehow Vishas survived and participates now as a fighter in the Brawler's Guild where he faces enemys as the final opponent on rank 1.Fairbanks fate is instead known. He still is in his old hidden room but now the door is always open and only his corpse lies on the ground. Probably he was killed by some of the fanatic crusaders who couldn't accept an undead in their sanctuary.

Edit: Spelling.

For anyone wondering where you get the swords for the quest, the first sword is behind Thalnos on a sarcophagus. The second sword is in the middle at the bottom of the fountain, in front of the statue that's glowing.

If you don't know where the Cathedral part is, go where Thalnos the Soulrender is. Then look to your LEFT, you should see a hole in the wall. If not, go left until you see the path going into the wall. There is the Cathedral part. Then go right when you are in the small room with a Scarlet guy there. He/she is neutral, so don't worry.

All of the readable books for Well Read seemed to be missing. This is a known issue for the new version of Scholomance, too. As far as I know, all of the SM books are available elsewhere, though. Not so with Scholomance.

For anyone wondering: The Monastery is on the Left, the Halls is on the Right. :)

Why didnt they remake the healing mace and the shield from the old SM cath! God know how many tanks ive run through there for the shield and atleast 3 pallys for the mace... :( they remade most of the other items like the ravager and daggers and so forth.

Comment by AveryCF

In this incence, those looking for a shado-pan LOOKING set like me, will find the boots and gloves to look shado-pan ish, good for a trans set as its dark like shado-pan gear, with a hint of red on the inside, like shado-pan gear! The only known (for now) real shado-pan gear you can have is the helm repuca, at exalted with the shado-pan and at their quortermaster.

Comment by MABGamer6407

I'm quite interested that most if not all the Not so undead characters seem to have a European accent, and a Russian like feel to the area. You can clearly hear the tone from Brother Korloff (who is based off of Ivon, from Rocky who was also Russian) as well as Commander Durand. I'm quite happy to hear that the game brings something from that area to the game, and seems to settle in nicely in the Instance's.

The Instance itself also got some improvements like the monks now geting Monk play styles. I would love it if Blizzard would contenue to envolve the Scarlet in some way later on, but its doubtful as this seems to be there climatic end in lore. But who knows, I mean they did bring them into Wrath in some form.

The old instance portals still exist it seem as using far sight through locked doors allows you to see the portals. Now whether or not the portals work I havent been able to tell.
